RADIO LUCIFER are a band from Aberdeen,
Scotland that make hardcore, heavy rock n'roll their raison d’etre. With
clutch of tunes set to stun, RADIO LUCIFER are set to make a big
impression with a full on nuclear assault that tips it's targeting
systems to The Wildhearts, Motley Crue, Devin Townsend,
Black Flag, The Backyard Babies and Sick of It All.
The band’s history is an illustrious and
decadent one - formed after the untimely split of Psycho A Go-Go
(Changes One records), front man Jonny decided that the kids needed the
exciting, decadent, sleazy kicks of his former group married with the
intensity and righteous anger of old-skool hardcore with a peppering of
metal. With this in mind he called his brother JIMMY LUCIFER, already an
alumnus of a number of hardcore/metal bands, including the mighty We
Become Less (Lockjaw Records). Jimmy of course agreed in a second to
take on the mantle of guitar player, allowing him to exorcise his love of
Motley Crue and Black Flag simultaneously!
Other members were quickly auditioned, until the line-up finally settled
upon the rock ninjas you’re reading
about now: ROBB, the bass-man from hell with a throbbing low-end cacophony
at his finger-tips and the chiseled charm of a Hollywood movie star; OGGY,
a virtual atom bomb behind the kit, and the enigmatic Craig Deadloss on
guitar; a man who lives the lifestyle of a millionaire while still on the
dole.
Radio Lucifer’s ascension has been a quick one, already the band have
played a number of shows around Scotland with Canadian indie supreme
Neil Leyton, a UK tour in September 2004,
and another trip around the UK is planned for Jan/Feb 05 to take Radio
Lucifer’s maniacal message to world at large, a message that appeals to
fans of Cheap Trick and Slipknot alike. |
